Bekki has been teaching advanced
techniques of healing with Crow in the Two-Week
Shamanic Healing Training since the early 1990s,
up through 2010.

In 2016, inspired by Crow's shamanic apprentice
program, which he had been teaching for a couple
of years at Dragon Waters in southern Ohio, she
formulated her own apprenticeship program, which
she teaches in Ithaca NY. This training is
designed for participants who have a good
grounding in shamanic journey work and who have
already been practicing shamanism as their primary
spiritual path, or as a significant adjunct to
their spiritual path, and who already have strong
shamanic ally contacts.

Each topic is taught over a 2-day period, and each
day the students work with volunteers from the
community in supervised group healing sessions
based on the teachings.

The topics covered are as follows (roughly in
order):

Energy Healing: a review of the basics of
energy work from a shamanic perspective, and
discussion of systems students are already using
(shamanic, polarity, Reiki, etc); including
partner work. Discussion of trance dance, healing
stones and other energy healing tools. When
possible, Bekki arranges to teach Opening the
Shamanic Voice with Crow to fulfill most of
the requirements of this segment, with additional
readings and skype sessions to round out the work.

Ancestor work: review and/or new perspectives of
ancestor work. Ritual work with the Ancestors
(Circle of the Ancestors is a prerequisite for the
course. This segment does not replace it.)

Earth Elementals: We will make contact with a
personal elemental spirit ally and learn to work
with this elemental to examine the physical
aspects of illness, disease and imbalance in our
clients.

Water Elementals: We
will make contact with a personal elemental
spirit ally and learn to work with this
elemental to examine the emotional aspects of
illness, disease and imbalance in our clients.

Air Elementals: We
will make contact with a personal elemental
spirit ally and learn to work with this
elemental to examine the mental causes of
illness, disease and imbalance in our clients
(ideas, beliefs, mental constructs)

disease and imbalance in our clients (crises

Plant Spirits: Making contact and working with
plant allies (as part of this you will be making
your own (very) small garden plot with selected
plants, altar and meditation space at Medicine
Spring Farm, where I live and teach); making
medicine. The plant spirits are also spirit
helpers in our shamanic work.

Working with Divinity: All
shamanic peoples believe in a Divine Being or
Beings who created the world and continue to
shape and guide it. These Beings are concerned
for their creation and are available as
shamanic helpers for healing and maintaining
balance of our world. We will work with
personal Divinities who offer themselves as
shamanic helpers for us in our healing
practice.
